Quantum computers promise enormous computational power, but the nature of quantum states makes computation and data ...

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs ...

For decades, computer scientists working on negative-weight graphs tried to match the speed of Dijkstra’s algorithm with similar “combinatorial” algorithms. These involve discrete operations — like ...

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...

Building on a landmark algorithm, researchers propose a way to make a smaller and more noise-tolerant quantum factoring circuit for cryptography.

So, an algorithm is the process a computer uses to transform input data into output data. A simple concept, and yet every piece of technology that you touch involves many algorithms.

Most computer scientists believe that there is no algorithm that can efficiently find the best solutions for all possible combinations of cities.

What do encrypted messages, recognizing speech commands and running simulations to predict the weather have in common? They all rely on matrix multiplication for accurate calculations. DeepMind, an ...

One computer scientist’s “stunning” proof is the first progress in 50 years on one of the most famous questions in computer science.

A novel computer-based algorithm can track the progress of hair loss in patients with various types of alopecia, according to a study.“Hair loss impacts so many people,” Elena Bernardis, PhD ...
